The Exile
The Exile is a tale based on the life of Duleep Singh, the last Maharaja of Punjab. The story is set in the 19th century when the British were conquering different parts of India. The story follows Duleep’s life through Punjab, London and Paris.The Exile starts when Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the Maharaja of Punjab, breathes his last. The year is 1839 and India is coming to terms with the powerful East India company, which is steadily conquering different parts of India. Less than a decade later, a Punjab, weakened mainly due to the infighting by different factions for power, succumbs to the British rule. 11-year old Duleep Singh, the youngest of the previous Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s acknowledged sons, is made to sign away all the treasures of Punjab, its vast fertile lands and the Kohinoor diamond amongst few.As the book progresses, Duleep Singh’s life begins to spiral downwards. He is separated from all that he loves. He is brainwashed by the British, converted to Christianity and then shipped off at the age of 16 to London, where he is resigned to live out the rest of his days as a squire who is loyal to the Queen of England. Disillusioned with the treatment handed out to him by the British and after a late realisation of the legacy he had lost, Duleep Singh begins to rebel against the British. He converts back to the Sikh religion and tries to get back to his people in Punjab. To do so, he must enter the murky politics of the 19th century. Read this book to find out if Duleep succeeds in reuniting his people or if he suffers the ignominy of defeat.The Exile gives an insight into the life of the last Maharaja of Punjab. Beaten down again and again by the British, his spirit could still not be tamed and till his last days, Duleep was a proud Punjabi Maharaj. The book was published by Penguin India in 2010.

On the Other Side
Abdus-Salam Kalshekar’s only aspiration was to publish his Dastan-e-Ishq, a seven-volume ‘Saga of Passion’, before his death. While Salam could only complete three volumes, an author sets out to write a novel about Salam, unveiling the fifty-three diaries about the latter’s past amours that consume the saga. It also reveals a certain beloved whom Salam could never bring himself to write about. While Salam’s life unfolds a world that is riddled with patriarchy, caste prejudice, religious intolerance and exploitation in the name of faith, the deeper conflicts of love and abandonment are revealed in this expertly crafted narrative, now available in an English translation.

He goes on to do an MBA from the hallowed halls of IIM Ahmedabad, builds a career as an investment banker at Kotak Investment Banking and AmEx, and is pivotal in the making of two unicorns-Grofers, as CFO, and BharatPe, as co-founder.
As a judge on the popular TV show Shark Tank India, Ashneer becomes a household name even as his life turns upside down. Controversy, media spotlight, garrulous social media chatter descend, making it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction.

The Smart and the Dumb
‘When racial and sexual injustice have been reduced, we shall still be left with the grave injustice of the smart and the dumb’—Thomas Nagel
Education achieves many things—it pulls people out of poverty, enables socio-economic mobility and promises a route to dignity. But what does education mean to different people, what does it do and whose needs are being met by education?
Even as globalization and formal education have established themselves as unquestionable truths, only a privileged few have cornered its benefits. In this process, education is being reconceived and its promises are being rewritten. Today, there clearly is more to education than going to school, getting credentials and getting a job.
This book is an attempt to capture what this ‘more’ is, by exploring education’s connections to caste, class and gender and understanding how they affect the promise of education. In documenting the fractured realities of the many children who want guns for Christmas and the psychological trauma of conflict in Manipur, how a ban on toddy-tapping affects educational choices in Tamil Nadu or why a grandmother chose to get her fifteen-year-old granddaughter married to a seventeen-year-old truck driver in rural Rajasthan and many such stories, this book attempts to paint a portrait of the political and cultural processes that affect education.
